Is anyone using Drambo in a hardware setup with your other gear? I currently use my Digitakt to sequence and control my synths, but as Drambo has a song mode I thought I might try using it as the “brain” of my setup. I’m assuming I can use the Digitakt as the interface as it’s class compliant?
What about PCMs? Can Drambo can send PCMs for selecting patches ion my synths? I can’t see anything obvious.

I know some people use drambo this way so it’s definitely possible.

I never really thought about using it as the center of my setup as it has no song mode. It’s definitely a very capable box though.

My Postsly I never use song mode, I capture the audio (multitrack via overbridge) and do the arrangement in my DAW

You can easily use the pattern chaining to build up different patterns into a song. I tend to create a pattern, copy it 16 times, then use Pattern Mutes to bring different elements in and out. You can go into the scale mode and set the number of times each pattern plays. Once you’re done you can chain all 16 patterns to play your “song” :-D.

@eatsleepsynthrepeat It’s a great idea! it’s unfortunate that the pattern chaining not saved in a project

Yes I wish they would update it to save the chains. Let’s hope!
For now I just make sure the patterns are in the order I need then I can quickly chain them when I open the project.

Yup, I use dRambo as my main sequencer for both software and hardware.
Yup, you can use the Digitakt as an audio interface if I remember correctly though I don’t have a Digitakt to test this myself.
As long as the audio interface is class compliant then it will work though you can only use one audio interface at any one time, a limitation of idevices and in regards to Program Control messages?
Yes, dRambo can send PC messages, have a look in the Midi section but you cannot send Bank Control message yet.
